CCi parts swapping thread.

dont know if this is already here, or even if it's allowed.
but if it is...
I have a 15 round red acid wash tube i want to trade for a 10round red acid wash tube.
and a 14 inch red acid wash for an 11 inch red acid wash barrel

I would suggest like jeff said to cut the feed tube, but I would recomend 11 or 12 so you can still reload without being completely empty or having balls still left in the 10 round tube.

what you need to do is put in 11 to 12 balls take off the cap and measure it. then take the tube off and tape around the area so if the hacksaw blade slips it won't mess up the anno and then just cut it down and file it until there are no sharp edges.

make sure u are cutting from the cap side and don't accidentally cut the threaded end off

take your time and go slow, or even better yet, borrow a dremel with a cutoff wheel and take your time and go slow. use the tape method as mentioned before and you can use the tape line as a guide for a straight even cut. if you are still iffy and think you cant do it on the first try, measure off 13 balls or so first and practice.

cut that 15 down to a ten with a hacksaw and no need to trade. any ugly cuts will be covered up by the end cap.

goodluck.

may want to try the BST

You might try a pipe cutter. I would still tape the barrel to protect the anno, but a pipe cutter would make a cleaner and straighter cut. You may have to clean up the inside of the tube, but the outside should be fine.
